The Chiefs’ spectacular game-winning touchdown-that-wasn’t exemplified much of their season: moments of brilliance surrounded by too many self-induced missteps.

Sean McVay’s play call during a critical moment Sunday didn’t make it to Matthew Stafford.
The 49ers won their Week 14 matchup with the Seahawks, 28–16. The victory increased San Francisco’s lead in the NFC West to four games. However, hard feelings appear to exist between the division rivals beyond the competition on the field.
Late in the game, 49ers linebacker Fred Warner intercepted a pass from Seattle quarterback Drew Lock then flipped it to teammate Dre Greenlaw.
Kelee Ringo doubled up on Sunday night.
The bye week from heck and everything that followed threatened to turn the Buffalo Bills season upside down, but that’s nothing one win — admittedly a very big win over an outstanding team — cannot resolve.
And here were are: The Bills’ season is back on its two feet.
Suddenly the drama caused by revelations that coach Sean McDermott once used 9-11 terrorists as an example of good communication before his players in a meeting has become a rallying point for the Bills.
The Chiefs‘ late comeback effort against the Bills in their Week 14 matchup was cut short due to an untimely penalty.
Trailing 20–17 with less than two minutes to play and the ball at midfield, it appeared that Travis Kelce had made one of the best plays of his career to put Kansas City ahead.
After catching a pass roughly 20 yards downfield, Kelce turned to get more yards, but rather than fall when faced with a Bills defender, he pivoted and threw a backward pass across the field to wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who took the ball into the end zone.

Late in the fourth quarter of Week 14’s game between the Chiefs and Bills, Travis Kelce made one of the greatest plays of his career.
With Kansas City trailing 20–17 just past midfield, Kelce caught a pass 20 yards downfield and turned up looking for more. But rather than accepting his fate when the defense closed in for a tackle, Kelce pivoted and threw a backward pass across the field to wide receiver Kadarius Toney.
Toney was wide open and scampered into the end zone untouched. The Chiefs took a 23–20 lead.
Except they didn’t.
The Chiefs’ wide receiver problem has risen from localized concern to public health emergency.
A gut-punched Arrowhead Stadium watched as Kadarius Toney lined up offsides, just before executing one of the greatest regular-season touchdowns we’ve seen in the past three decades (only, of course, to have it called back because he lined up offsides). Toney caught a potential game-winning legal lateral from tight end Travis Kelce, crossing the goal line high-stepping in a modified Deion Sanders impression.
The end of the Chiefs’ loss to the Bills was overshadowed by a controversial offside call against wide receiver Kadarius Toney, which wiped out a miraculous touchdown that would’ve seen Kansas City take a late lead.
Toney scored on the play after a sensational lateral from Travis Kelce, but it was called back after officials determined that the wide receiver had lined up offside.
An irate Patrick Mahomes had to be held back by teammates as he shouted at the officials after the game.
